First time

They said there's always a first time for everyone and I sincerely believed that. This month I had my first's. November just started but GOD showered me with abundant blessings. Thank YOU so much LORD.. First of all, this month I had my first promotion, proud to say I'm no longer an agent but a Process/Lead Trainer for our account. Honestly, even up to now I still can't believe that I got promoted or was accepted, 'coz as far as I knew I was totally lost and I almost freaked out during the interview but good thing GOD is in control that is why I passed. Yipeee.. Second, I got my first facial care treatment or session, I am not really vain when it comes to my face, you can barely see me wearing make up and I am way too lazy to wash my face at night, but my face is not that worst. Anyways, my colleague and I decided to avail the promo of Flawless - Power of P999. It means facial treatment for 3 sessions is only for P999. And so, I decided to reward and pamper myself. I just found out that each session costs P550. So we were able to save Php699, not bad huh. Third, I bought an Ichigo heels. I admit I am the sneaker type of girl or I'm really into flats and slippers, and honestly, I've never had any high heels. Just this month, I was so curious to try heels so I decided to buy one. Well, I haven't used them yet but maybe soon. I'm just trying to find a perfect outfit. And lastly, I'm looking forward for my first full 13th month. I am super duper excited. Last year I had my 13th month but it was pro-rated, compared this month, I'll be able to get the whole payout. Wow! Ain't that cool and exciting for all my first? One thing I do hope and pray and I know GOD won't allow it, my first valid centertrack (oh GOD forbid).

Cheers for this month and have a long blast month!

PS: Care to share your first too? Looking forward to hear your firsts. :)

And to spice up this post, here are the pics of me and Chai at Flawless Megamall.

That's me.. Before the session:)

The Ring

These days, I'm insanely crazy about rings and accessories. I'm supposed to be in my shopping ban but then I just can't help it. Everyday, I've been struggling not to buy these and that, and my boyfriend calls it "unnecessary" because he is very practical for some reasons like for example clothes, he once asked me why do I have to buy clothes every now and then when in fact I still have lots of clothes in my closet that I can use everyday? He finds it unnecessary and he calls it an expensive addiction. Well, I told him blame it on being a girl these are our own worries and simply our cravings, shopping is like our own brand of heroine, it makes us feel high. Agree??

Speaking of accessories, I ordered these rings online because I was looking for someone like this:
Aren't my babies so cute and adorable? Love it!

My Rainbow ring

Hello Kitty Black Resin Ring

Isn't it obvious that I am so addicted to Hello Kitty? They are the cutest. :)

presenting Deathbyplatforms Cole Vintage Blog Give Away!

They said the best things in life are those that comes in for free, isn't it fun when you get to have additional fabulous outfits and stuff just because you won such giveaways? Wow, amazing but true and I guess this is the advantage of being a blogger, you're not only having fun but at the same time you are winning. And speaking of which, Death by Platforms is having her Cole Vintage 1st Giveaway!!!
Without further hesitation, I then joined, why should I waste these opportunity? Ayt??

Here's one of my top picks:

Pronounce it right

I admit I'm not really a signature brand type of girl, for me whatever the brand is as long as comfort is still the key. I've only had few designer stuff and mostly I bought them from vintage stores and thrift shops. I've known some signature stuff and believe me some of them are hard to pronounce, we find a hard time pronouncing these signature labels and the designer's name itself. I'm not hypocrite and honestly I am a victim myself when it comes to pronouncing some of the big names. Good thing Kristine Roa from Instyle Cebu posted hints and tips and mini guide on how to pronounce your favorite fashion designer's name.

This would be a big help to those fashion starters like me. Not only we can familiarize ourselves on how to pronounce it but we can actually say it loud with confidence knowing we know them not because we are born raised fashionista's but because we do love, follow and wear these highly fashionable branded stuff.

Here are some of the common ones:

Balenciaga (Bah-len-see-AH-gah)
Bebe (Bee-Bee)
Bulgari (bull-ga-ree)
Cartier - Car-ti-yey
Celio – Chel-yo
Chanel - Sha-nel
Chloe - Klo-ay
Christian Dior - Kree-styang/ Christiane – Krees-tyan Dee-yor
Christian Louboutin - Kree-styan Loo-bi-TUHN (listen to JLo’s new single!)
Dolce & Gabbana: DOLE-chay and gab-BON-a
Estee Lauder – Es-tay Lo-der
Clarins – Clarans
Giorgio Armani - Gjyerjo-Ahrmanee
Girbaud – Jir-bow
Hermès: AIR-mehz
Kerastase – Ke-ras-tass
Lanvin : lon-vawn OR lon-vahn
Miu Miu - Mew-Mew
Moschino: mo-SKEEN-o
Nike – Nay-ki
Salvatore Ferragamo: Sal-va-TOH-reh Fair-a-GAH-moe
Shu Uemura – Shoe Ooh-eh-moorah
Tag Heuer – Tag Ho-yer
Xoxo - So-So

The pointy red horn

Yesterday, Megamall had their trick or treat event, aside from the fact that it's Sunday, it is expected that the mall will be crowded, and yes indeed I was right. We went there late in the afternoon, and by the time we arrived in the mall, what amazes me is that kids were wearing their Halloween costumes to name a few there were the common Batman, Spiderman, Superman, princesses, angels, fairy and how can I forget the ever devil with the overused red headband horn. Honestly, I've never been to any Halloween parties or event ever since, that is why Halloween parties or simply trick or treat is not really a big deal for me. But then looking back yesterday, looking those kids in their perfect costumes and bringing their pumpkins full of candies, it made me look back and somehow wished that my parents should have exposed me and my siblings such as like these. I mean, at least for once I could dress up and portray someone.

But anyways, the other day Mingming and their team had a Halloween fever at work, their team decided to dress up like devils and witches. And when I came home, he scared the hell out of me at the front door wearing those red pointed horns in all black costume. I'm not really a chicken or what but because when I came inside the room, everything was dark and I couldn't see anything but when I closed the door he was there standing behind the door in his evil look face and devilish smile that somehow made me scream. And because of that, I did punch him. Good for him. LOL

Here's the picture of Mingming wearing his simple DYI costume made by their team. He doesn't look scary right?

And below is a picture of me in a wacky smile while trying the red pointed horns


And lastly, the sexy outfit shot of a modern devil -
(just kidding) I'm just making fun of his red horns.
